Company B cadets

Uniformed M.A.C. cadets of Company B stand in formation in front of the Old Barracks. Completed in 1859, this structure was the oldest building used by students and faculty at the time of the 1912 fire. It had housed cadets almost since the institution opened. Accounts differ, but some say that the fire of 1912 started in the basement of the Old Barracks while cadets and their dates dined upstairs.
